Academic Assistance cares about ALS awareness!!! Our very own Director Belinda Nuckols, Adam Lawson and James Kittinger are among those to have recently taken the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The challenge dares nominated participants to have a bucket of ice water poured on their head. The stipulation gives 24 hours from the time they are nominated to complete the dare; otherwise, the nominee is asked to donate money to the ALS Association. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)—also referred to in the United States as Lou Gehrigs disease is a neurodegenerative disease with various causes. It is characterized by muscle spasticity, rapidly progressive weakness due to muscle atrophy, difficulty in speaking, swallowing, and breathing. ALS is the most common of the five motor neuron diseases. One of the famous victims of this disease is Stephen Hawking.
